Appearing for the fourth time in an
Angelholms FF kit — three times in league play and once in the Swedish Cup —
Bobby Warshaw made his third start as the Swedish second division side topped
Varberg 4-2.

The 24-year-old Warshaw logged the
first 65 minutes as Angelholms (8-7-7, 31 points) constructed a 3-0 lead. The
victory popped Warshaw's new club into a share of sixth place in the Superetten
standings.

After dressing but sitting out
Angelholms' next match — a 2-2 draw last weekend against Jonkopings Sodra —
Warshaw landed his first start on Aug. 28 and responded with his first goal in
a 2-2 tie with GIF Sundsvall.

Sunday's marked the fourth time the
former Mechanicsburg High School and Stanford All-American was among the 18
players available for selection and the third time Warshaw played since his move to European-based
soccer.

He's expected to remain in Sweden until November.

Below is a series of detailed posts by the Dallas Morning News' Steve Hunt concerning the events leading up to and culminating with Warshaw's temporary transfer abroad.

In his third season with F.C.
Dallas and needing a chance to play, Warshaw last appeared for Schellas Hyndman's free-falling club on June 29, playing
the final 28-plus minutes of a come-from-behind 2-2 draw against the
Philadelphia Union at Chester's PPL Park.

Near the top of the Western Conference standings in late June with an 8-3-6 record (30 points), Hyndman's bunch has gone just 1-4-4 since Warshaw last played. Dallas (9-7-10, 37 points) has fallen into a tie for sixth place and is in danger of missing the playoffs.

As a rookie in 2011, Warshaw played
in 17 games, posting a game-winning finish against Sporting Kansas City that
earned him MLS rookie of the week honors from highly regarded soccer columnist
Ives Galarcep.

Injuries plagued the 6-0,
180-pounder during his second F.C. Dallas season, limiting the talented holding
midfielder to just six regular-season appearances.
